Fraud is no longer a “big business” problem—it’s a Maryland business problem.
From phishing emails targeting small retailers in Baltimore County, to wire fraud attempts aimed at construction firms and professional services across Maryland, fraud is evolving quickly and it’s impacting businesses of every size. Cybercrime and payment fraud continue to rise year over year, with local businesses often being the most vulnerable.
As a community bank rooted in Maryland, Rosedale Bank partners with small, medium, and large businesses to help detect, prevent, and respond to fraud—using a combination of secure products, proactive services, and knowledgeable local branches.
Understanding the Fraud Risks Facing Maryland Businesses
Fraud doesn’t look the same for every business. Some of the most common threats we see across Maryland include:
- ACH and wire transfer fraud
- Business email compromise (BEC)
- Check fraud and altered checks
- Debit card and account takeover attempts
- Internal fraud due to limited controls
Whether you’re a family-owned business in Rosedale, a growing company in Towson, or a large operation serving customers across the state, fraud prevention requires the right tools—and the right banking partner.
